Gimme That Olde Time Religion

I'm not sure of the noise in the image is intentional, but it's not working for me (it looks like a scan of an old/worn image). But what really hurts the image for me is that the eyes fade into black.

Nice sharp eyes, good shallow DOF. Could have used a little more light.

It's so dark and blurry that it's just not working for me.

Pretty woman

For my tastes... the contrast is just too much. No detail left in her hair, and the side of her hand is completely blown out.

If Looks Could Kill...

Nice lighting. Too add a little more "wow factor" to this, you need to sharpen the image overall (but only a little bit), plus selectively sharpen her eyes.

Love the lighting, pose and expression. Nice use of a hair light to separate her from the background. Once more, selective sharpening on the eyes would be helpful, but nothing else to say about this one.

Very playful. Here I think the lighting on her eyes and face rocks. Just need to tone it down a little bit on her hands. I like the cards as bright as they are, it's just her right hand (left side of image) that feels blown out. And as mentioned on another image ... selectively sharpening the eyes after you reduce the image for the web would help.

I like the pose, lighting and expression a lot. You might want to selectively sharpen the eyes just a bit more. (they may be okay in the full size print and simply lost their sharpness when you reduced it for the web)

Love the playful look. Could bump the contrast just a bit more to make the colors "pop" a little more. I'd also like to see a little more light on her eyes... which you could easily do in post.
